geb., Ganzleinen, 22 cm, Original-Schutzumschlag, 348 S., der Schutzumschlag wurde an zwei Stellen mit Tesa geklbt; Vorsatz mit kleinem Text/Motivstempel The subject of this biography welcome but overdue, as is the British way was the Guderian, and in some ways also the Rommel, of the British Army. Significantly, both these two great leaders of the German Panzer Forces regarded him admiringly as their exemplar, and the prime practitioner of the technique they applied. Yet also in the British way, he was never given such opportunity of command in war as they obtained, although before they even emerged he had made an outstanding mark on the development of armoured forces everywhere. But he went on to become the main influence on the further develop-ments that became decisive in the final stages of the war. He was deeply admired, if also feared, by most of those who served under him and came to be loved by many. Few men have left so deep an impression on people, and on their profession in his case on the evolution of military technique.
